Yo, Elena Garro, de Carlos Landeros, es un libro de entrevistas revelador y apasionante. Landeros es, al decir de Emmanuel Carballo, un entrevistador nato, y así lo demuestra en esta obra: llega hasta el fondo de la esencia de Elena Garro. Su estrategia es la de jugar con la frivolidad y la vanidad de ambos, pero nunca cae en lo superficial. Al final de sus entrevistas casi siempre logra lo que se propone: hacer un retrato fiel de Elena y sumergirnos en su mundo.
Este libro nos entrega, con riqueza de recursos literarios, las excepcionales entrevistas que el autor realizó a lo largo de una amistad que cultivó durante más de treinta años con Garro, una de las más cautivadoras y polémicas escritoras del siglo XX. Aquí encontraremos, a través de una galería de espejos, intimidades provocadoras y un retrato insospechado de la escritora de Los recuerdos del porvenir. Cierran este libro dos importantes entrevistas con Emmanuel Carballo y Archibaldo Burns, grandes conocedores de su obra y su vida.

I, Elena Garro, by Carlos Landeros, is a revealing and fascinating book of interviews. Landeros is, in the words of Emmanuel Carballo, a born interviewer, and he proves it in this work: he gets to the very heart of Elena Garro. His strategy is to play with the frivolity and vanity of both, but he never falls into superficiality. By the end of his interviews, he almost always achieves what he sets out to do: paint a faithful portrait of Elena and immerse us in her world.
This book offers us, with a wealth of literary devices, the exceptional interviews the author conducted over the course of a friendship he cultivated for more than thirty years with Garro, one of the most captivating and controversial writers of the 20th century. Here we will find, through a hall of mirrors, provocative intimacies, and an unexpected portrait of the author of Memories of the Future. The book concludes with two important interviews with Emmanuel Carballo and Archibaldo Burns, great connoisseurs of her work and her life.
